About the Office of Safety & Security

Maintaining an environment where everyone feels safe and secure requires a cooperative and collaborative effort between all members of the college community. As seen throughout the college, we too value diversity and strive to treat everyone with respect and dignity.

A tradition of efficient, courteous service to the community has always been the goal of the Office of Campus Safety and Security as well as enhancing the public’s knowledge of emergency management and safety operations at BTC. Blackhawk Technical College is committed to ensuring the health and safety of the entire college community.

The Office of Safety and Security works closely with local law enforcement and other local jurisdictions in order to enforce federal, state, and municipal laws. The Office of Safety and Security also works with Student Services to enforce the Student Code of Conduct. Security officers patrol both the interior and exterior of all college owned or leased buildings.
